Subwindows are unreadable on KDE 6 #841

For some reason, the background is white, making it impossible to read the majority of the text. image

same here, changing settings is completely unbearable

if anyone has this same issue, here is a scuffed as hell hack because I don't know how QML files work:

  1. download the git repo and dependencies: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term/wiki/Build-Instructions-(Linux)

  2. before you run qmake && make open the file /cool-retro-term/app/qml/SettingsWindow.qml and add color: "#282a33" underneath the parameters for width and height

(change the color to whatever your theme uses for dialogs)

  1. run qmake && make

  2. replace the old cool-retro-term with the patched one: sudo cp ./cool-retro-term /usr/bin/cool-retro-term

As a workaround, I found that

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=none cool-retro-term

will trick Qt into thinking it's not running under KDE, and you'll get the default Qt text and background colors instead.

I think CRT should choose a color for settings which will work in both dark and light mode
